Scholarships for researchers from Ukraine
The Vice-Chancellor has decided to allocate funds for scholarships targeting researchers from Ukraine. See the attached document RS beslut UFV-PA 2022-1182 (pdf) (in Swedish). The purpose of these scholarships is to be able to offer researchers sanctuary and enable them to spend time in a research environment.
The Vice-Chancellor is able to award 20 scholarships of SEK 150,000 each, where each scholarship is awarded for a short stay of five months. The scholarships are awarded following a decision and must be preceded by an application from the hosting head of department or equivalent. Applications and decisions are made as they are received.
Where there are more applicants than the number of scholarships available, a selection will be made on the basis of academic qualifications, the researcher’s own reasons for applying, and reasons from the hosting department. The researcher’s own reasons for applying and description of their academic background must be written in English. Applications can be submitted for as long as the Temporary Protection Directive is in force and scholarship funds are available.
A scholarship can only be awarded to a researcher covered by the Temporary Protection Directive who holds a doctorate (Degree of Doctor) at the time of application. In order to be eligible for a scholarship, an undertaking from the head of department or equivalent to host the scholarship holder is also required, which means that the department will bear the indirect expenses incurred such as for a room, workplace, computer, etc. The undertaking also means that the department is able to provide human resources who can support the researcher in various matters.
More information about this can be found in the attached document Information for departments interested in receiving Ukrainian researchers (pdf) (in Swedish).
